Finally after spending the past few days working on editing my videos I finally got the last one uploaded to youtube. With this I can now get back to focusing on my IRM route now once again. Here is the video.

Also Adam has done a fantastic job so far on one of my commissions which is this Rock Island Auto Boxcar.

Stay tuned for further progress.
 
A big thank you goes to Trainboi1 for contributing towards the project by making these two Alco's that are present at IRM (The Santa Fe one is currently in GB&W colors but will eventually be restored to its ATSF look).

Hello everyone. I would like to apologize for the lack of updates towards my route recently. Personal life, work, and now volunteering at IRM has kept me quite busy. I'm trying to find the right time this week to get some work done on it.
 
Well its been awhile since Ive opened up my route. Unfortunately I can not work on it today because I have to head off to work. Hopefully on my next day off I can find some time to work on this.

Just one screenshot today since I have to leave for work now. I started putting back the scenery at Johnson Siding back into their proper place. I also did some track work editing back at the museum it was not worth a screenshot for that.

Here is a update from Paul aka PWeiser on the progress of the CTA 5000's series cars. He has been working on the interior of the cars.

Me and Paul would also like to thank the volunteers of the IRM Electric Department for helping us out with the making of the Electric Equipment by providing us with Drawings and Detail knowledge on finding anything that needs correcting with the models. There will be update coming for both versions of the Electroliner (North Shore and Liberty Liner) models where the color of bogeys will be change from red to black. With Volunteer support towards the project is a huge plus and a great help for my team.

Also Steve Lerro has started work on the 1630's Tender.

Here is a update from Paul aka PWeiser on the CTA 5000 Series cars. He has now finished the middle car and is now working on the two end cars. He has also finished the interior as well. Plus once we finish this version we will be doing the other versions of the 5000's that will include all of the different paint schemes and modifications they had over the years once we finished this one.

How much has been done on the route itself though, I'd love to see some background static display locomotives like LS&I 2-8-0 35
